Hey all, been forever since I've been on here... but been a member since the old days.

This first post may get lengthy, bear with me.

This is my 1999 S10 - I bought it a while back with a 5.3l/4l60 already in it. The initial plan was to fix it up and drive it daily.... which evolved into fix it up and turbo it, then sell it and hopefully make a few bucks... which evolved into, I like the truck too much, so ... now, it's getting the 4l80 and 8.8.

Initially to sell it, I wanted to turbo it and clean up the wiring with a pair conversions harness and one of my turbo kits.

After we tuned it, and it made great power... I decided to remove the psi conversions harness and install a drop on Gen1 MS3Pro setup. I already had the ecu from my race car, and bout the last harness that ampefi had. That's where we are today.....

Now, I'm waiting on my circle d converter and axles to finish it up, retune and hopefully make some passes.

I've added a few pics of the build along the way. Also a link to the build playlist:

Very nice so far. Keep up the good work. I don't see a support bracket for the turbo yet

 

Thank you! No, you don't - and you won't see one, this turbo is small enough, it's not really a concern.
